[Histonet] Botanical stains

From:

Elizabeth Wurdak asks about botanical stains:
Many years ago, (many, many years ago !) when I attended basic laboratory
technique classes in London, the standard stain for botany was, I think,
Safranine and light green. The sections were a little thicker and a delight to look
at. I am sure you could easily find the method in the Internet. Also,
strangely, alcian blue and safranine can be used too. We used to hand sections
with a cut throat razor.......
